YES! Unfortunate, but true. If the company has had your file for the max time, even if you are making payments, they can still send it to collections. I know this from several past experiences. I would tell them that I will pay $5 a month and you have to take it. Yes, they have to accept the money, but if the payment plan isn't good enough for them they will send your records to a collectionsl PLEASE NOTE, this may vary from state to state, so don't take this as a for sure, but I know of several states that do this.
Not if you are making your payments.
Yes, an account can still be sent to collections even if you are making monthly payments. If the payments are not meeting the agreed terms or if the creditor believes the account is at risk of defaulting, they may send it to collections to recover the debt. It's important to communicate with your creditor and try to negotiate a manageable payment plan to avoid the account being sent to collections.
You should not be sent to collections if you are making monthly payments. Some companies have their own "polocies" on how much your payment needs to be in order to keep from collections but the law says that you can pay what ever you want as long as you don't sign a payment contract.
If the bills were overdue and you are making payments as the result of being 'dunned,' and the bills are not yet paid in full, it will reflect on your credit report.
Personally speaking, it is better to settle with a collection agency rather than making monthly payments. Theres only one ceveat....you must pay the collection agency in full. Example, lets say you owe $1000 to a credit card company. A collection agency will say, pay $600 NOW and this will settle the balance. So, if you dont have $600, its a 'catch-22'. You are better off making the monthly payments until the $1000 is paid.
If you fail to pay the mechanic for services then they can put a lien on your car and this has nothing to do with you making the monthly payments on time.
If the debt was properly assigned by the original creditor, yes. If you are making payments to the Original creditor than ask them to pull it back from there Collection agency, then dispute with the CRA's and when they update it should delete
Because they don't. It is a lot of agency's policies.
either OR both
They can do whatever they want if you are behind, but it would be weird for them to pursue collections if you are making REGULAR payments. Call the credit card company and make arrangements.
nothing you can do without a title in your name
Amortization is just another name for the monthly payments you will be making. It is not a type of loan.
